SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES – FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work Area

(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

(2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust of fumes.

(3) Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical Safety

(1) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be

recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be

suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery.

(2) Use battery operated tool only with specifically designed battery pack. Use of any

other batteries may create a risk of fire.

3. Personal Safety

(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off position before inserting battery.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a

tool with the switch on invites accidents.

(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key

that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

English

5

4. Tool Use and Care

(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead

to loss of control.

(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

(4) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together

may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

(7) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

(8) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

(9) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used

on another tool.

5. Service

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

● Lead from lead-based paints,

● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of

work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

English

NOTE: The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.

4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.

CAUTION:

● Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.

Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.

Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.

CAUTION:

● When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated,

thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed,

give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

● If the battery is rechraged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,

the pilot lamp may light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

English

16

● When the pilot lamp flikers rapidly in red (at 0.2–second intervals), check for and take

out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign

objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your

authorized Service Center.

● Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to confirm that the battery

being charged with UC14YFA or UC14YF2 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds

before reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds,

the battery may not be properly charged.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been

used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when

using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal

time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and

recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the

battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged

immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery

life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.

Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.

(2) The direction of the light can be adjusted within

the range of hook positions 1 – 5. (Fig. 9)

䡬 Lighting time

AAAA manganese batteries: approx. 15

hrs.

AAAA alkali batteries: approx. 30 hrs.

CAUTION:

● Do not look directly into the light.

Such actions could result in eye injury.

1.3 Replacing the batteries

(1) Loosen the hook screw with a Phillips-head

screwdriver (No. 1). (Fig. 10)

Remove the hook cover by pushing in the

direction of the arrow. (Fig. 11)

(2) Remove the old batteries and insert the new

batteries. Align with the hook indications and

position the plus (+) and minus (–) terminals

correctly. (Fig. 12)

(3) Align the indentation in the hook main body

with the protuberance of the hook cover, press

the hook cover in the direction opposite to that

of the arrow shown in Fig. 11 and then tighten

the screw.

Use commercially available AAAA batteries

(1.5 V).

NOTE: Do not tighten the screw excessively. Such

action could strip the screw threads.

CAUTION:

● Failure to observe the following can result in

battery leakage, rust or malfunction.

Position the plus (+) and minus (–) terminals

correctly.

Replace both batteries at the same time. Do

not mix old and new batteries.

Remove exhausted batteries from the hook

immediately.

● Do not discard batteries together with normal

trash and do not throw batteries into fire.

● Store batteries out of the reach of children.

2. Installing the bit (WH12DM2, WH9DM2)

Always follow the following procedure to install

driver bit. (Fig. 13)

(1) Pull the guide sleeve back.

(2) Insert the bit into the hexagonal hole in the anvil.

(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its

origianl position.

CAUTION:

● If the guide sleeve does not return to its original

position, then the bit is not installed properly.

3. Removing the bit (WH12DM2, WH9DM2)

Please do the opposite point on the method of

installing bit.

4. Selecting the socket matched to the bolt

(WR12DM2, WR9DM2)

Be sure to use a socket which is matched to the

bolt to be tightened. Using an improper socket will

not only result in insufficient tightening but also

in damage to the socket or nut.

A worn or deformed hex. or square-holed socket

will not give an adequate tightness for fitting to

the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of

tightening torque.

Pay attention to wear of socket hole, and replace

before further wear has developed.

Matching socket and bolt sizes are shown Tables

4, 5, 6 and 7. The numerical value of a socket

designation denotes the side-to-side distance (H)

of its hex. hole.

5. Installing a socket (Fig. 14, 15-1) (WR12DM2)

Align the plunger located in the square part of the

anvil with the hole in the hex. socket. Then push

the plunger, and mount the hex. socket on the

anvil. Check that the plunger is fully engaged in

the hole. When removing the socket, reverse the

sequence.

6. Retaining ring type (Fig. 14, 15-2) (WR9DM2)

(1) Align the square portions of the socket and the

anvil with each other.

(2) Make sure to firmly install the socket by pushing

it all the way into the anvil.

(3) When removing the socket, pull it out of the anvil.

CAUTION:

䡬 Please use the designated attachments which are listed in the operations manual and

Hitachi’s catalog. Accidents or injuries could result from not doing so.

䡬 Make sure to firmly install the socket in the anvil. If the socket is not firmly installed it

might come out and cause injuries.

7. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly

8. Check the rotational direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear

side) by pushing the R-side of the push button.

The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn

the bit counterclockwise. (See Fig. 16).

(The

L

and

R

marks are engraved on the body.)

CAUTION:

● The push button can not be switched while the impact driver is turning. To switch the

push button, stop the impact driver, then set the push button.

9. Switch operation

䡬 When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the

tool stops.

䡬 The rotational speed can be controlled by varying the amount that the trigger switch is

pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the

trigger switch is pulled more.

NOTE: A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to rotate; this is only a noise,

not a machine failure.

10. Tightening and loosening screws

Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit in the grooves of the head of the

screw, then tighten it.

Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit fitting the head of the screw.

CAUTION:

䢇 Applying the impact driver for too long tightens the screw too much and can break it.

䢇 Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an angle to that screw can damage the

head of the screw and the proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.

Tighten with this impact driver lined up straight with the screw.

11. Number of screw tightenings possible (WH12DM, WH9DM)

Please refer to the table below for the number of screw tightenings possible with one

charge.
